I would like to point out a minor error here. Above stated "The position of all the subatomic particles that make up your daughter as she lives her entire life can be represented as a sequence of binary. And that really is your daughter." is of course not true.
You may get a perfect representation of your daughter, INSIDE CONTEXT*, but a representation is obviously not the object being represented. If it were it wouldn´t be a REPRESENTATION in the first place.
*0´s and 1´s are just zeroes and ones unless you interpret them, and in order to interpret, you need a context.
